With almost 200 pages packed with over 750 color illustrations and photographs, this book is an excellent guide for beginner and teacher alike. Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with diagrams and endoscopic pictures which complement the narrative.This book would act as a good reference atlas for any endoscopy unit.This is an excellent book for beginners and is a good atlas of normal and abnormal anatomy.--Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England "I appreciated the side to side correlation with radiological studies or manometry readings. Artistic diagrams to clarify the orientation of the endoscope, anatomic variations, and surgical anastomoses are also helpful. The strength of this book lies in its photos. The endoscopic photos are high quality with excellent color resolution.

This 187-page manual is helpful as a visual encyclopedia of common diagnoses. [It] would be helpful not only for fellows but also other housestaff such as internal medicine residents and for students rotating through the GI service." --Practical Gastroenterology "This very elegant and superbly illustrated book is divided into four parts. The strength of the book lies in the hundreds of color endoscopic figures, which together with tables and schemes make comprehension of the text easy and immediate. Practically all endoscopic images are shown with high-quality figures enriched with an appealing explanation.All those starting endoscopy should plan to have this book in their own library." --Digestive and Liver Disease "It is not often you come across a book which is a real pleasure to read through, but this was certainly the case with Endoscopy of the Upper GI Tract. It is extremely well laid out, in a very logical manner.

Illustrated with high-quality photographs and diagrams to illustrate the practical process. What is particularly useful, certainly in the chapter on technique, is the correlation between endoscopic images and diagrams showing the position of the endoscope. The sections on pathology are similarly well illustrated but include very useful boxes on diagnosis, set out in a way which is both practical and easy to remember. Endoscopy of the Upper GI Tract is the sort of book that I would have loved to have had when I was learning endoscopy. I have encouraged trainees.to have a look at this book, all.have found it indispensable.A very valuable addition to any library and an essential for any training unit.
